Opis

This book offers new hope to parents who wonder whether or not what they are doing is "good enough" when it comes to helping their teenage sons and daughters experience success in school. The author, Dr. Stephen Gavazzi, is a renowned researcher and family therapist who spent the last twenty-five years of his career studying how families matter in the lives of teenagers. Dr. Gavazzi takes a radically different approach to this subject, insisting that family members are their own best experts when it comes to raising their teenage sons and daughters. The author provides important information about how families operate at their best, with special attention given to 5 Facts about Strong Families. Building on these 5 facts, this book provides a series of step-by-step exercises designed to get parents and teens to work together to build upon their current strengths and capabilities in order to create new opportunities for teenagers to experience success in school.
